7PLUS is an encoder vaguely similar to Unix's UUENCODE.
|
|
It uses a very effective radix216 encoding and incorporates
|
|
diverse mechanisms to ensure decoded data is not corrupted.
|
|
It also includes an interactive repair mechanism which allows
|
|
the repair of damaged files using correction files, thus
|
|
eliminating the need to retransmit entire files. In case of
|
|
a corruption, only the faulty sections are resent. 7PLUS
|
|
is only meant to be used within the Packet Radio network
|
|
for the tranport of binary data through Packet Radio mail.
|
|
It cannot be used for Internet eMail since it needs a
|
|
(almost) transparent path from end to end.
|
|
|
|
This will not build on x86_84, patches welcome.
